Poetry is a very personal genre. You can gain insight and inspiration from the heartfelt messages shared through poems. Soul of the Earth is a collection of poems by author Theresa McMillan (1954-1997). They represent her experiences as a member of the United States Armed Forces, as a mother, and as someone with breast cancer. Through her words, you discover the person within, someone who was incredibly strong and brave and who faced life head-on. But most of all, you learn about a woman who loved her family dearly. Terri's Song I'm a child of the universe, A ward of space. The stars are the eyes of All who serve in this place. I'm a girl of the galaxy Surrounded by life's fantasies. The planets are the brothers Of my reality. I'm a woman of the world, A precious gem to humankind. My love generates forever And mystifies the mind. I'm the soul of the earth Blowing in the wind. I'll always be somewhere After I've departed again.
